Do Back Pain Home Remedies Work?

Back pain home remedies might be effective for treating some forms of physical back and
neck pain. Long before we enjoyed an organized medical system, people treated all types of disease and
injury
at home. Many home remedies actually form the basis for a variety of modern medical therapies.

One thing is for sure, when it comes to relieving
back pain,
there is no place like home to relax and allow the treatment to
function to its optimal curative ability. Just remember that many home
therapies are highly limited in what they can achieve, so every patient
should always consult with their doctor before starting any treatment
program.

Variety of Back Pain Home Remedies

Home remedies can be scientific, superstitious or based in folklore.
Some of the best home remedies are a perfect combination of all three. Home back pain relief
is a good way to make sure that a patient can benefit from some
therapeutic techniques, while using the comfort and security of the home
to aid in the
recovery
process.

There are many distinct treatment modalities which can be
utilized at home. It is always important to remember that treatment
should be supervised by a doctor and any medical questions should be
referred to a qualified healthcare professional. This is especially
important if the patient is also under the care of a regular physician
and might be taking pharmaceutical products which might increase the
risk of interaction with home-based therapies, including herbal
products.

Back Pain Home Remedies Effectiveness

Extensive research studies have shown that many patients actually recover from
back ache
much faster if they do not seek any medical or complementary
treatment. In addition, patients who choose to treat their pain at home
have a far lesser chance of developing a
chronic pain syndrome
from their injury.

Medical science is known for keeping a patient in an extended
care regimen for a long period of time. It is no wonder why some
patients choose to circumvent the entire medical experience and treat
their own pain with whatever methods they have available. Remember that many patients do not have insurance or may have
suffered a trust-breaking event involving a medical professional in
their past. For these types of patients, back pain home remedies might be their only hope.

Results of Back Pain Home Remedies

I am an outspoken advocate of home
back pain relief.
Some patients with a known pain condition do much better if they can
avoid running to the doctor every time they have a recurrent outbreak of
symptoms. Physicians mean well, but can often impart a substantial psychological
nocebo
effect to their patients which can create, perpetuate or worsen a
chronic pain condition. Physicians want to help, but will naturally
recommend more drastic and possibly invasive treatment options if
conservative measures do not provide relief.

Home-based therapies range from ice and heat to massage to dietary alteration to exercise training. We detail of of these practices, as well as many others, in the back pain treatment resource section of this website.

One of the most important aspects of home-based
back pain treatment
is learning to master the tenets of
knowledge therapy.
This is a great home remedy for chronic pain of virtually any type.
Knowledge therapy will teach you what typically causes or perpetuates
chronic pain and what factors cause sudden
acute
attacks of misery.

Once you have mastered the techniques of recognizing and
accepting the reasons for many of these painful conditions, you will
find that the services of a
back pain doctor
are rarely necessary. You might just become pain-free and will have no reason to seek their services ever again.

Dr. John Sarno highly recommends that all patients suffering with
his TMS diagnosis follow this advice, by discontinuing all professional
care for back pain and concentrating on these simple psychological care methods instead. While his advice may be controversial to many, you can
not argue with his treatment results.
